These actions of control were again contradicted when he, with all his might, performed one segment of the dance, and was going to land with what I expected to be a loud clash on the floor, but he instead glided softly to the floor.
I really enjoyed Fall For Dance, especially the dance entitled Snow. While watching the performance, i became perplexed, observing the dancer’s controlled, yet almost violent actions. He seemed to be battling himself, trying to release his soul through the dance. He conciously tried to control his actions, and I observed him repeatedly take his arm and force it to his side.
